Introduction

The Peripheral Server Remote I/O Concentrator is the first remote networking solution to utilize

USB Over IP™ technology, breaking the traditional five meter distance limitation between USB

device and host. Now USB devices may be located anywhere on a wired or wireless LAN –

without a locally attached host PC. Since the host PC or server may be located remotely,

Peripheral Server enables devices to be deployed in harsh or non-secure environments, making it

ideal for point-of-sale, kiosks, surveillance, industrial automation, or any mission-critical enterprise

application. This Ethernet-attached solution provides five USB ports to connect peripheral devices

like bar-code scanners and receipt printers.

Cabling Peripheral Server

To connect the Peripheral Server Concentrator to a network:

1. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to your Peripheral Server. Then

connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a 10/100 BaseT switch or hub.

2. Connect one end of the power supply* into the back of your Peripheral Server and

the other end into an AC outlet.

*Power to this product may be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” or a UL listed power

supply rated with a minimum rating of 5 V dc 2.5 A if used in the U.S. and Canada or a power supply with similar rating

and approved by your local safety code if it is used elsewhere. For polarity, see the following:

Installing the Drivers

Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) –Page 2

Configuring Your Concentrator

For initial configuration, the Concentrator must be connected to the same local area network as

the configuration PC. Note also that Peripheral Server Concentrators cannot function behind

firewalls

In order to configure your Peripheral Server Concentrator:

1. Launch the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility from the Start menu. The utility

displays a list of discovered Peripheral Server Concentrators on your local subnet.

A new Peripheral Server Concentrator will have a default IP address of 0.0.0.0.

You must configure the Concentrator before it can be used on a network.

2. After the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility has been launched it will reside in

your system tray. To open the utility double click on the Inside Out Networks icon

in the system tray. If you try to start the Utility from the start menu and does not

launch, check the system tray.

3. You can identify each concentrator by its IP Address. If the Concentrator is

unconfigured, then the serial number can be used for identification

Unconfigured Concentrators are listed separately. For example, the Concentrator

with serial number V419F0649 above has not yet been configured.

4. To discover Concentrators on other networks, see “Using the configuration Utility

Program” on page 7.

5. Double click on the Concentrator or select the Concentrator and press the

Configure button in order to set the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway.

6. Enter a Device Name that easily identifies the concentrator.

7. Enter the IP address and Subnet Mask. Contact your Network Administrator for IP

address assignment

8. Enter the Gateway for your network. In a network using subnets, the Gateway is

the router that forwards traffic to a destination outside of the subnet of the

Peripheral Server device.

9. For the changes to take effect you must click on the Update button to reset the

Concentrator.

Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) –Page 4

Configuring Your Host PC

To configure a Host PC to access the Concentrator:

1. Launch the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility from the Start menu. The utility

displays a list of all Peripheral Server Concentrators on your local subnet. And on

any subnet configured in the Discovery List.

2. After the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility has been launched it will reside in

your system tray. To open the utility double click on the Inside Out Networks icon

in the system tray. If you try to start the Utility from the start menu and does not

launch, check the system tray.

3. The Configuration Utility automatically discovers Concentrators on your local

subnet. To discover Concentrators on other networks, you must add their network

address to the Discovery list. Select “Discovery List” from the “Edit” menu. Add the

Subnet addresses to the Discovery List Manager. For example, to add the Class C

network 10.21.1, you must enter 10.21.1.255. Note that your routers must be

configured to pass subnet broadcasts.

4. When you have completed adding the subnet address to the Discovery List, click

on the Close button to save the list. The screen will refresh within a few seconds.

5. Select a Concentrator and press the Connect button to add the Concentrator’s IP

address to the Connection List. The host computer then attempts to connect to the

Concentrator. For a list of the Concentrators to which you are currently configured

Peripheral Server Installation Guide (Rev. A) –Page 5

to connect, select “Connection List” from the “Edit” menu.

6. The Found New Hardware Wizard prompts you to search for the drivers: one time

for the Remote Hub and two times each for the USB Host Controllers and the USB

Root Hub. Select the “install software automatically” (Recommended)” option and

click the Next button. If you get the warning message indicating that the drivers

have not yet passed Windows Logo Testing. Click the Continue Anyway button.

Uninstalling the Drivers

To uninstall the Peripheral Server drivers

1. Launch the Peripheral Server Configuration Utility from the Start menu.

2. Select Preferencesfrom the File menu and click on the Uninstall button. You

must reboot your PC in order to complete the driver removal.

Interpreting the Status Lights

The Peripheral Server Concentrator has 6 LEDs on the front panel, the System Status LED and 5

hub LEDs. Each LED is capable of displaying 3 colors, red, green, or orange.

Understanding Hubs

Hubs, critical components in the plug-and-play architecture, are wiring concentrators that enable

the attachment of multiple devices, thus converting a single attachment point into multiple

attachment points. USB architecture allows a cascaded multiple hub configuration with certain

power limitations (explained later in this section). See figure 1.

Figure 1: Example of a Typical Hub Configuration

Device

Each hub has an upstream port, connecting to the host, and multiple downstream ports,

connecting to downstream devices, including other hubs. A hub can detect attachment and

detachment of downstream devices and enable and monitor the distribution of the power to

downstream devices via their integral hardware and the operating system.

Each USB device reports its power requirements to the operating system, which then enables

and disables the device as a function of its power requirements and the amount of available

power. High-speed devices typically need to be connected to a self-powered hub, which obtains

power from its external power supply and provides up to 500 mA for each downstream port. Only

simple devices, such as a mouse, can be connected to a bus-powered hub, which obtains power

from its upstream host and provides up to 100 mA for each downstream port.

Due to the limited available power for bus-powered hubs, cascading two bus-powered hubs is an

illegal topology, and devices connected to the second hub will not function. (USB specifications

limit the connection of a bus-powered hub to a self-powered hub or host only.)

According to the USB Specification, the maximum limit of hubs cascaded in series cannot exceed

five. In other words, you may have a maximum of five hubs between any device and the host.

This does NOT mean that the maximum number of hubs in a system is five. Indeed, up to seven

hubs can be connected parallel at any given level. You must tally both external and embedded

hubs when counting downstream hubs.
